“If I had an 86-year-old with pneumonia but never tested for COVID-19 but we learned she had been exposed to her son who had no symptoms but was identified with COVID-19, it would be appropriate to diagnose on the death certificate COVID-19,” Dr. Scott Jensen said.

ALSO, they never provide proof the alleged son in this case, ever even tested positive for coronavirus. (If well, why would he even have been tested anyway? He would never have been tested in CA as one example, even if sick you call in, go to ER if you can't breathe, believe me.) There are not enough tests available to test every well-seeming person, or sick person for that matter. Yet they connect all of the cases by saying the person had it, or were exposed to someone? BUT there is NO proof anyone had it at all, even the deceased. AND THERE IS NO WAY FOR US TO CHECK AND FIND OUT IF IT IS TRUE. So we must begrudgingly accept their BS as true? You can't trust any of them on that side. That is the only truth. This has the fingerprints of the Left all over it. This is their MO. Lie to get what THEY want, no matter what or who else it hurts, they DO NOT CARE.

Doctors are instructed by the CDC to use their judgement on if the patient died of covid19. They don't have to test positive or test at all to put it as the cause of death. The can assume it as the cause for vital statistics reporting.

Well not according to what I read that just came out from a Dr. who is also a state senator. Article states:

"Dr. xxxxxx explained that this is not a normal procedure. Dr. xxxxxx said for example if the same patient had pneumonia during flu season and he didn’t have a test confirming the patient also had influenza, he would never diagnose the patient with influenza on the death certificate".

Sadly they've already countered this line of reasoning with: Citizens are dying in their homes in NYC, and no one is testing them for Coronavirus, so TRUMP is lying about the numbers.
